Summer Off-Road Vehicle Events
Cet été promet un grand nombre d’événements pour les véhicules hors route à travers les États-Unis, des collines boueuses du Midwest aux champs de dunes du Pacifique dans l’Oregon. C’est impossible de tous les présenter ici, mais nous avons pensé mettre en lumière certains des meilleurs événements de VTT et de côte à côte de la saison estivale 2019. Lisez ce qui suit et préparez-vous à démarrer vos moteurs!
Types d’événements de VUTT et VTT
Les événements et les rallyes de hors route se présentent sous différentes formes, allant des jamborees familiaux qui sont principalement axés sur la détente aux courses de niveau professionnel à plein régime. Un grand nombre des événements de véhicules tout-terrain que nous avons répertoriés ci-dessous mêlent des compétitions amusantes (courses dans la boue, tire de tracteurs, combat à la corde), des randonnées guidées sur les sentiers locaux, des spectacles et démonstrations de VUTT et VTT, et toutes sortes de festivités. Quoi qu’il en soit, ce sont d’excellents rassemblements pour admirer certaines machines très performantes et exhiber votre propre véhicule.
